But seroiusly though, this post is about two people, Steve Whitmire and Jim Henson. They have two things in common, they worked together, and they both performed the frog!
You already know what I'm talking about, the Muppets.
The Muppets were ran by one puppet, and two performers, the aformentioned people. First I should talk about the Big Boss, Jim.
At first, he didn't want to be a puppeteer, he wanted to work on TV though. He saw a sign that some kid's show was looking for a puppeteer, and the rest is history
Then there is Steve Whitmire!
I can't keep this one short. Steve was a huge fan of the Muppets and became a puppeteer because of Jim Henson, just like me. He became a Muppeteer durring The Muppet Show. at the begining of the '90s Jim died and they needed a new person to perform Kermit and Ernie. Jim said in his will who would get his characters. Well, some of them. Rowlf didn't come back till now, and still he isn't shown much! Anyway, Jim's will said that Steve got Kermit and Ernie. And that's how this madness began!
So, now that the truth is known* will you read my blog?
*Note: some of it might be wrong, I don't know. I read it somewhere, I am telling the truth as I know it.
